Liverpool Street is the name given to the area around the grand Victorian mainline station. Located at the northern end of the City of London, Liverpool Street station was redeveloped to increase capacity and reopened in 1991.
Since then the area has seen a number of large new developments open like Broadgate Circus which replaced the old Broad Street station and the more recent Heron Tower which has been renamed The Salesforce Tower which is one of London’s tallest buildings.
With easy access, excellent shopping and lots of places to eat, the Liverpool Street area is one of the more popular locations in the City of London.
Liverpool Street continues to be a popular location for a wide range of business types and sizes. This is due in part to the excellent transport links provided by the Victorian mainline railway station and Tube connections. This will be further enhanced in 2018 when the new Crossrail station opens connecting Liverpool Street with speedy links to the West End with new stations at Tottenham Court Road, Kings Cross and New Bond Street and Canary Wharf out to the east.
Recent years have seen a steady level of redevelopment in the area with new buildings like Broadgate Tower and the regeneration of a number of period buildings in the Eldon Street area, Finsbury Circus and on Old Broad Street.
